Chapter 384

"I know a piece of intelligence suspected to be related to Great Yu cultivators." Seeing Lu Yang agree, Vice Sect Leader Shi felt that the success rate of dealing with Great Yu cultivators had increased by a few points, and he was willing to further cooperate with Lu Yang.

Lu Yang said "Oh", relaxed his body, and leaned against the back of the chair.

"Let's hear it?"

"Why are Great Yu cultivators not accepted by the Great Xia? There are two reasons." Vice Sect Leader Shi stretched out two fingers.

"The first point, needless to say, Great Yu cultivators do not acknowledge the existence of the Great Xia and demand the restoration of the Great Yu Dynasty's rule. Naturally, the Great Xia cannot tolerate it."

"The second reason stems from the struggle between righteousness and evil."

"According to historical records, blood sacrifice events occurred frequently in the Great Yu Dynasty. In order to consolidate their rule and win over experts, the Imperial Preceptor and the Yu Emperor always tacitly approved such events. For example, why is he called the Heavenly Disaster Venerable, bringing suffering to the people, while the Great Yu ignored it? The reason lies here."

"The Great Yu believed that sacrificing a few cities in blood and winning over a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator was a very cost-effective deal."

Vice Sect Leader Shi sneered at the Great Yu's approach. Although their Demonic Sect also killed people, they had beliefs and were for the sake of promoting the existence of the Nine Serenities. They were worlds apart from guys like the Heavenly Disaster Venerable who took pleasure in killing.

"If the Great Yu had done this in the ancient times, they would have been wiped out by our Heavenly Court long ago." Lu Yang said coldly. Blood sacrifice by cultivators, such things were rare even in the ancient times.

Before the Five Ancient Immortals became immortals, the ancient order was chaotic, and it was not strange to have blood sacrifice events. After the Five Ancient Immortals became immortals, if such things still happened, it meant they didn't take the Five Ancient Immortals seriously.

Zhifash

This can be seen from the Decayed Fairy's attitude.

The Decayed Fairy is naive, not stupid. She would not tolerate things like blood sacrifice.

From this, it can be inferred that if the Four Ancient Immortals who were on good terms with her were murderous, the Decayed Fairy would not have become friends with them.

"The Great Yu cultivators who have just awakened are in a weak state. What is the fastest way to recover? It is blood sacrifice and blood feeding. Now that the Great Xia Dynasty's rule is strict, it is difficult for them to carry out blood sacrifices openly as they did more than 100,000 years ago."

"By using rules or other means to carry out blood sacrifices secretly, it is difficult for the Great Xia to know."

Lu Yang remembered the matter of Buyi Town, which was the means for Great Yu cultivators to recover their strength.

"Our Nine Serenities Sect has eyes and ears all over the continent. We can't compare with the Great Xia on the surface, but when it comes to the dark side, the Great Xia doesn't know as much as we do!" Vice Sect Leader Shi laughed. Their Nine Serenities Sect has existed for tens of thousands of years; if they didn't have some intelligence channels, they would have perished long ago.

"A few days ago, I happened to receive a piece of intelligence suspected to be a blood sacrifice. It doesn't look like it was done by the Yaoyang Sect or the Wuqing Sect; it is very likely to be ancient cultivators!"

"Suspected blood sacrifice?"

"Yes, suspected. It is not yet certain."

"What is the specific situation?"

"My subordinate reported to me that he passed by a small village called Huaian Village in Liangzhou. He looked from afar and found that the village was empty, without a trace of living people. The cultivation technique he practices is somewhat special and very sensitive to the smell of blood. He smelled a trace of blood."

"Being so far away and still being able to smell the blood means that a large number of people died in the village!"

"He was afraid of the rules set by the Integration stage cultivator in the village and didn't dare to get close. After learning about the abnormality of the small village, he immediately reported it to me."

Tao Tianye felt a little surprised in her heart; this matter revealed something eerie.

Lu Yang frowned: "The small village is empty, did the government not take any action?"

"What's even stranger is here. The government ignored this village, as if they were completely unaware of the existence of the small village! It may also be that the people in the village disappeared not long ago, and the government doesn't know about this yet!"

"According to my speculation, it is very likely that ancient cultivators carried out blood sacrifices in the small village and used some means to block people's cognition, or blocked the cognition of righteous cultivators!"

Lu Yang tapped the table rhythmically with his index finger. This matter was very bizarre, and Vice Sect Leader Shi's explanation was not fully convincing.

But no matter what, it was necessary to investigate this small village.

Lu Yang was not worried that Vice Sect Leader Shi was luring him there. The strength of the Heavenly Court Sect had already been demonstrated in part; he wouldn't dare to trick him, the Young Sect Leader, even if his head was hit by the Fifth Elder's flying shuttle.

"Then let's go and take a look." Lu Yang set off, preparing to head to Liangzhou.

Vice Sect Leader Shi was surprised. He didn't expect Lu Yang to be so decisive. He thought that this Young Sect Leader Lu would go back to find the Heavenly King protectors before going to investigate Liangzhou.

Daring to go to Liangzhou, where ancient cultivators are suspected to be active, with only two geniuses?

Either they have the ability to save their lives, or the Heavenly King protectors are already following Lu Yang, and he knows nothing about it.

"Does Sect Leader Shi want to go together?"

"Naturally, I want to go." Vice Sect Leader Shi readily agreed. He was the one who brought up the matter; how could he not go?

His flying boat was docked outside Yanjiang County, and the three of them boarded the boat and left.

Vice Sect Leader Shi still wanted to say something to Lu Yang, but saw Lu Yang closing his eyes to rest after boarding the flying boat, looking like he didn't want to talk much, so he didn't ask for trouble.

Tao Tianye didn't speak either. She knew that Senior Brother Lu closing his eyes was because of his fear of heights, afraid of seeing the outside.

Three days passed, and the flying boat flew to Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is located on the west side of the Central Continent. Affected by the climate, there are many grasslands and few forests. Going further west is the Golden Buddha Kingdom. The Buddha Kingdom is full of yellow sand, and it is difficult to see green.

"This is it."

Vice Sect Leader Shi stopped the flying boat in the air, checked the location in the report, confirmed that the eerie small village was below, and then jumped down.

Lu Yang was afraid of heights and didn't dare to jump down like that. He had been prepared for a long time.

"Junior Sister Tao, cast an illusion on me, making me think that the ground is under my feet."

Tao Tianye covered her mouth and smiled, raised her hand to cover Lu Yang with an illusion, and the two jumped down.

The Golden Core stage can fly freely.

The landing point of the three was about one mile away from the small village.

Vice Sect Leader Shi was worried about alerting the enemy, so he didn't use his spiritual sense to explore the situation in the village.

"It doesn't look like there are traces of using rules." Vice Sect Leader Shi walked around the small village and made a judgment. He was experienced and almost never made mistakes in this regard.

"Then it's even stranger. Where did the people in the village go?" Lu Yang and Tao Tianye were also puzzled; it didn't make sense.

The three of them tried to walk into Huaian Village. Even after stepping into the village, they were not affected by any rules.

Vice Sect Leader Shi's nose twitched, and his expression was somewhat solemn: "The smell of blood here is thicker than I imagined!"

"Is there a smell?" Tao Tianye also twitched her nose, but didn't smell anything.

Vice Sect Leader Shi explained: "You two are different from me. You practice the orthodox cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Court. The cultivation techniques practiced by us Demonic Sect cultivators are more or less related to blood sacrifice. Only those of us who practice the Demonic Path can feel the abnormality here."

Lu Yang asked: "Is the smell of blood very thick?"

"Very thick. Even if all the people in this small village were killed, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so much!"

"This is very likely an altar built by ancient cultivators, concentrating the mortals and cultivators they captured here for blood sacrifice!"
